Hi Lovelies,
My 5 year old loves make up and constantly asks for make up sets.
I am not a make up person and don't particularly want her in make up either, but then I am torn - whats the harm right? Its her birthday and she would lose her mind if she got make up!
So I would love some suggestions as to what to buy, I looked at the natural stuff but they do not come in palettes (that I could find), I also dont want to spend a fortune on something that is going to be destroyed!
Thank you!

Check out a local priceline. They often have gift sets aimed at tweens.

In terms of giving make up to little ones, I would set some boundaries around when she can wear it and play with it. So it's more of as fun art activity and not something she feels she needs and that she needs to look pretty etc.

Our Amcal Max Pharmacy often has fabulous looking sets for young ones at good prices.

I may be being paranoid here but so much that I have seen that looks great is made in China so there's no way I'll buy that for my Granddaughters as I have concerns with the quality of lots made in China. As I said, I may be being unrealistic.

Funny a group of us mums were discussing this ore around pre-Xmas sales time as some minor celeb made a kids makeup line but can’t remember who! But I was reading not long ago about a mum who created the “Oh Flossy” natural ingredients makeup line for kids as (like Trish rightly mentioned) that cheap Made in China stuff is nasty.

Don’t know if she’s an Aussie or it’s available locally though. My mum used to have a basket of products that didn’t work for her for whatever reason like lippes and eyeshadows and she’d let me sit down and play with them instead of getting into her whole collection.

Edit to add this site sells cute natural organic kids makeup and it’s Aussie and great prices:

What about No Nasties Makeup? I haven't purchased yet myself but the range looks interesting, reasonably priced, handmade in aus, lots of fun colours although it looks to be a lot of individual pots that you buy to put in the tray (which appears to be purchased seperately)

I've heard of no nasties, oh flossy and pure poppet have got good reviews. I myself haven't tried them but hear good things. Below are another 2 links as well that may have something you're interested in?
